I like the "easily amused" comment. My son thinks that's my most endearing quality. But that's better than the current political situation of so many being "aggressively gullible".
Let's simply split the daylight difference. Next Spring we only "spring ahead" a half hour and leave it that way forever.
I truly hate daylight savings time. I couldn’t agree with you more that Mother Nature should do her job with longer days and then longer nights as the seasons turn. I feel for parents of little ones who have to go to bed on the summer while the sun is still up. And if people want to go out and spend more money (which lobbyists interested in) during summer months, they will no matter what kind of lighting there is; the warm weather and fun will still be there.
People also forget that when we turn our clocks back or forward, we are doing in one flash what Mother Nature would do over the course of 60 days, minute by minute. If we remained on DST, there would be a time when it would be dark at 8:00am. Who wants to go to school when it’s dark?
I could go on and on, I just hope Congress makes the right choice in making standard time permanent.

Good morning Glenda,

And if people want to go out and spend more money (which lobbyists interested in) during summer months, they will no matter what kind of lighting there is; the warm weather and fun will still be there.

Thank you for your article.

Thank you for sharing.
I would like to see Daylight Savings time all year long. Who says we have to follow the old ways.
Very good argument.
